If aliens arrived tomorrow, what’s the first thing you’d ask them?

I’d ask them why they are here. Can’t they see from above we have made a hash of it?

The genie grants you a wish. What is it?

World Peace is out of the question, clearly. Too much greed from the power-hungry scuppers that.  I could say how do they sleep at night? But the answer would probably be ‘ with ease’.

Another wish that isn’t going to happen..that I get to spend a day with some of the people I have loved and lost. There is a lot I want to say. Questions to ask and words to listen to. 

Another? Yep, the massive lottery win. I could do so much good with that. #WaterAid .

Maybe it is best for now that I wish whomever reading this has a happy day and remains safe.

What are five simple exercises to do at home?

This isn’t going to be the most enthralling post you have read today. Forgive me, but I did want to show up.

I start the day by exercising my right to down as much coffee as I can – before His Lordship says, ” Enough already, we’re going out. Now!’

Then there is lots of lovely exercise out and about. Soaking up the natural world. We are so fortunate that where we live, there is an endless number of ways we can go straight out of the front door. He decides, l follow. Yep, he takes the lead, ironically.

Back home, he settles for a long nap whilst I race around ( exercise no 3) getting household jobs done.  There’s only two of us under this roof, but crikey, there’s lots to be done. Patch is a cross Beagle/ Jack Russell. His fur is everywhere, despite frequent brushing.

So, where does exercise 4 come onto it? After my chores,whilst he sleeps, I’m chasing side hustles online. The minute he awakes, we’re back on it. Out the door and on our way. Don’t get me wrong, I love it, I love him, but there is ‘ no rest for the wicked ‘

And that leaves us with the fifth ‘simple’ exercise, WordPress is asking us to divulge to all today

I’ll put this down the mental and emotional exercise we all have to cope with on  a daily basis. We all want to live in a peaceful world  and enjoy existing on this planet in harmony… but a handful of megalomaniacs won’t allow it.

How did you meet your significant other?

I saw his photo online. He looked handsome, healthy, and in good shape.

Things moved quickly from that moment, and he had moved in within a few weeks.

We’ve been together over five years now.

There have been ups and downs. We are both spirited souls.

But the fact is you never really know what you’re getting with a mixed breed Rescue, who has had three homes before coming to share your life. 🐾🐾

What are your top 10 travel destinations?

Yikes WordPress. This isn’t an easy drop-in to DP, and have your say, is it?

Okay, so…let’s take Amman//Jordan, Chennai/India and Cornwall/UK  out of the equation. Because these are a given.

I have to be clear, at this moment in time, I want to go nowhere, overseas. I am so very happy where I am.

A long weekend city break in a smart hotel in central London and Birmingham.

I’m thinking, The Ice Hotel  in Sweden (not comfortable about sleeping under reindeer  hides, though.

Yellow Stone Park, to see brown bears, coyotes, racoons, and all the wildlife I don’t come across in England.

The Native experience at the Salish Lodge and Spa. NW US.

The Knepp Estate in West Sussex, UK. The ultimate in rewilding.

Croatia, Ireland, Venice, and a Greek island.
